[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9327207, member: 177"] Access to EN World is a privilege, not a right, and that privilege can be lost to varying degrees. We generally go with, "innocent and worthy of the privilege until proven otherwise," approach, but it is still a privilege. Thinking that what is a privilege is really your right, is textbook entitlement. Publishing something publicly does not make the work public domain. As far as we and the site can manage it within our mission, technological and practical constraints, we consider the poster to own their posts. What the author wants is privileged [I]because they are the author[/I]. Now, we can only offer so much control, and if an author needs more than what we can provide, they may need to take their works elsewhere, but we do offer some minor control. But, the issue isn't "lots of people", is it? The issue is [I]specific individuals[/I], who, in the author's eyes, due to their chosen behavior have lost the privilege of seeing those thoughts. No, it really isn't. That post wasn't in your pocket, given to you by your parent or guardian, or intended to pay for something you really needed. No direct interaction with you is taken to relieve you of the post. You are not harassed, assaulted, bullied, or so much as spoken to, and unless you choose to mention it, nobody else would even know it happened. There are sometimes consequences to how some of your treat each other. No, you are not. You aren't forced to take any action. You are relieved of the privilege of taking the action of reading some posts. [/QUOTE]
